"...because sometimes the wind doesn't blow."

Maybe he doesn't believe in rain or snow or night time or day time either because sometimes it's sunny or summer or day time or nigh time or whatever.

Perhaps there are more progressive technologies other than the AD 500 windmills?

Fracking is a current technology that has reduced green house, global warming, climate change, etc, whatever word libtards want to use, more than any other technology in decades.

I can assure you that no one in the year 500 was using windmills to generate electrical current.

Fancy that, Trump doesn't believe in wind energy.

rump has owned megayachts (before they were taken in a bankruptcy by Arab buyers) but has never been on a sail boat that uses wind energy.

And yet Trump has hurricane shutters on his Mar a Lago golf resort where he employs illegal alien workers.

And Trump throws paper towels at Puerto Rican Hurricane survivors who lost their homes to wind damage.

Wind energy? What you talking bout Willis?

It ruins views from golf courses. Personally I think windmills are beautiful gigantic machinery being powered by nature. Don't know why people say they ruin views. Its probably one of the most gorgeous displays of kinetic energy being transformed into potential energy. Unless there is a way to witness a hydroelectric turbine at work.

it's not that they're inherently bad. it's that the idea a running leap into designing them and installing them "just anywhere" would be good for anyone but politically picked contractors? they knew it would not work that way.

The federal production tax credit (PTC) for wind energy producers has cost the U.S. government billions of dollars in revenues, distorted energy markets, and benefited just a few large corporations, a new study reports.

The federal government imposed the PTC in 1992 in an effort to promote renewable energy. The PTC, currently 1.9 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 10 years of a wind farm’s operations, has been extended several times by Congress. It is scheduled to begin phasing out at the end of 2019. The PTC and tax depreciation allowances cover more than 50 percent of the capital costs of a typical wind facility.

Billions for a Few

Between 2007 and 2016, just 15 parent companies accounted for more than three-fourths of all PTC eligibility, raking in more than $19 billion from the program between 2007 and 2016, the study by the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) found.

The biggest recipient of PTC largesse is NextEra Energy, the nation’s largest wind power producer, with approximately 10,000 wind turbines and annual revenues of $17.5 billion, reports the study by TPPF Senior Fellow Angela Erickson. More than $5.7 billion in taxpayer dollars flowed to NextEra Energy courtesy of the PTC between 2007 and 2016, making NextEra “one of the most subsidized Fortune 500 companies,” writes Erickson.

‘Web of Government Incentives’

The $14 billion wind industry in the United States benefits from numerous types of government support and incentives, the study shows.

“[T]he industry operates within a web of government incentives—from subsidies, to loan guarantees, to various other federal, state, and local government incentives,” Erickson writes. In 2017 alone, the nation’s taxpayers had to make up $4.2 billion in foregone revenues solely due to the PTC, the study notes.

Over the decades, the PTC has caused market distortions, including instances of “negative pricing,” where producers operate wind turbines when the electricity they provide is not needed, simply to receive PTC revenue.

“The PTC’s $24 per megawatt-hour credit sometimes results in wind energy producers paying electricity suppliers to take their energy rather than turning off wind turbines during surplus energy hours (e.g., early mornings when people are sleeping),” the study states. “By keeping wind turbines running, producers will receive the tax credit even though the grid does not need the energy. The resulting low prices may harm the reliability of the grid by reducing the incentives for investing in energies that can supply baseline generation.”

Racing to Start

With the PTC set to be phased out by the end of 2019, companies are in an aggressive race to erect as many wind turbines as possible across the nation. Corporations that start construction of wind facilities before December 31, 2019 will continue to receive PTC tax credit payments until December 2029.

As a result, “the federal government will transfer at least an additional $48 billion in PTC subsidies to owners or financiers of commercial wind farms,” through 2029, Erickson reports.

NextEra Energy, Inc. is a Fortune 200 energy company with about 45,900 megawatts of generating capacity, revenues of over $17 billion in 2017.

wind-turbine-facts.jpg

if you think the cost of heave gauge COPPER (or Al) to hook all these up these buckers is nothing ... THINK AGAIN

the "good" wind mills cost $1.4 million EACH, you'll need 2,625 of them to replace a big power plant

$3.674,530,000 (that's over 3.5 billion dollars NOT INCLUDING hookup, installation, and BASE STATION (the base station is the same or more as a power plant's similar unit))

AND 3,937 acres of land you'll need - you may need another $20,000,000 - possibly discounted if farming between them is considered possible

note there may be some foolery with numbers though

for instance: us has a nuclear plant of 3,942 Mw that generates 32.846 in a year Twh/yr

BUT us has a 7,000 Mw dam that generates 20 Tw/h per year

(so, Mw is not a good guide. annual hours produced is - and plants don't all publish that)


2. Itaipu Dam Brazil Paraguay 14,000 103.09 Hydro

may be the winner for power actually generated annually (by wikipedia) by a single plant

Russian nuclear power plants produced 180.5 terawatt hours of electricity last year, a new record, Rosenergoatom said today. Output surpassed the federal target of 168.3 TWh on 11 December and Rosatom's goal of 175 TWh on 21-22 December. The most important achievement in 2014 was the connection to the grid of unit 3 of the Rostov nuclear power plant, on 27 December, Rosenergoatom said.

Trump is just a brazen, stupid and pompous turkey who thanks to hype was able to earn millions and become president and now he does not even do anything to cure coronavirus ... So I'm surprised ... Wind power is one of the coolest projects today and this idea is widely used, but the problem is that it is a rather ineffective project. It would be much cooler to use geothermal heat to generate energy because it is a completely inexhaustible source of energy. I recently decided to read more about this and came across a very detailed and interesting blog of an entrepreneur and scientist. It turns out that if we still learn to add energy from the core of the planet, then we will never have problems with energy, but it is really very difficult. If you're interested, you can read about it at https://renewablepedia.com/answers-about-geothermal-energy/.

In many countries, we see that wind energy works perfectly and green energy is our future. In addition, it is very beneficial for consumers! I used to pay very large electricity bills, but then I decided to stop it when I found out about the tariff comparison plan at usave.co.uk.
